Referring to the FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the fingerprint module 400 may include an encapsulation layer 1 configured to encapsulate a fingerprint identifying assembly 9, a decoration component 2 and a circuit board assembly 3.

Referring to FIG. 4, the encapsulation layer 1 may include an end surface 111. An edge region of the end surface 111 may be recessed to form a first step portion 111 a.

Referring to FIGS. 3-5, the decoration component 2 may include a sidewall 20 a and a bottom wall 20 b. The sidewall 20 a and the bottom wall 20 b may define an embedded cavity 20 c, and an inner surface of the sidewall 20 a may form a second step portion 20I a.

In some embodiment, the first step portion 111 a may be connected to the second step portion 201 a by glue.

When the encapsulation layer 1 is embedded in the embedded cavity 20 c, the first step portion 111 a and the second step portion 201 a may match with each other, for example, the first step portion 111 a may embedded in the second step portion 201 a. The thickness of the encapsulation layer 1 and the decoration component 2 in the front-rear direction can be reduced, such that the thickness of the fingerprint module 400 can be reduced, and the electronic apparatus 100 can be adapted to the ultra-thin design to meet the needs of users.

Referring to FIGS. 2-5, in some embodiments, the fingerprint module 400 may include: an encapsulation layer 1 and a decoration component 2 and a fingerprint identifying assembly 9.

Specifically, a rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1 (the rear side as shown in FIG. 5) may have a first mating portion (as the protruding portion 11 described below). The decoration component 2 may define an embedded groove 21. The encapsulation layer 1 may be embedded in the embedded groove 21. The embedded groove 21 may include a second mating portion in the embedded groove 21, and the first mating portion may be embedded in the second mating portion such that the first mating portion and the second mating portion may fit to each other. Therefore, when the encapsulation layer 1 is embedded in the embedded groove 21, since the first mating portion is embedded in the second mating portion, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 1 and the decoration component 2 in the front-rear direction can be reduced, the thickness of the fingerprint module 400 can be reduced. As a result, ultra-thin design of the electronic apparatus can be adapted to meet the user's use requirements.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the first mating portion may be a protruding portion 11 formed on the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1 (the rear side as shown in FIG. 5), the second mating portion may be a recess portion 22 formed in the embedded groove 21, and at least a portion of the protruding portion 11 may be disposed in the recess portion 22. Therefore, when the encapsulation layer 1 and the decoration component 2 are assembled, since at least a portion of the protruding portion 11 is embedded in the recess portion 22, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 1 and the decoration component 2 in the front-rear direction can be reduced, the thickness of the fingerprint module 400 can be reduced. As a result, ultra-thin design of the electronic apparatus can be adapted to meet the user's use requirements.

For example, as the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1 has the first mating portion, the first mating portion may be formed as the protruding portion 11. The decoration component 2 may define the embedded groove 21. The encapsulation layer 1 may be disposed in the embedded groove 21. The bottom portion of the embedded groove 21 may be provided with the second mating portion formed as a recess portion 22. The protruding portion 11 may be located in the recess portion 22. The side wall surface of the protruding portion 11 and the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1 may form a first stepped surface, and the bottom portion of the embedded groove 21 and the side wall of the recess portion 22 may form a second stepped surface, and the first step surface and the second step surface are engaged with each other. Therefore, the displacement of the encapsulation layer 1 relative to the decoration component 2 in the rear direction could be limited, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the fingerprint module 400. When the thickness of the protruding portion 11 in the front-rear direction is a, the overall thickness of the fingerprint module 400 can be reduced by a.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of the protruding portion 11 may be one. Thereby, the structure and processing technology of the encapsulation layer 1 may be simplified, the production cycle may be saved, and the production cost may be reduced. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1 may be provided with the protruding portion 11 which is one and located at the center of the encapsulation layer 1. When the encapsulation layer 1 is processed, the encapsulation layer 1 having the same thickness may be processed first, and then a step is processed in the circumferential direction of the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, an end of the circuit board assembly 3 may pass through the decoration component 2 and extend into the recess portion 22 and be attached to a free end surface of the protruding portion 11 facing the recess portion 22. For example, as the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3-5, the bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22 may define a through hole 23, the end of the circuit board assembly 3 may extend through the through hole 23 on the decoration component 2 into the recess portion 22, and the end of the circuit board assembly 3 extending into the recess portion 22 may be attached to the free end surface of the protruding portion 11. When the circuit board assembly 3 is attached to the free end surface of the protruding portion 11, on one hand, the protruding portion 11 may protect the circuit board assembly 3 and prevent the impurities in the air from corroding the circuit to cause electrical performance degradation, and on the other hand, the tight connection between a fingerprint identifying assembly 9 in the encapsulation layer 1 and the circuit board assembly 3 can be ensured, and the reliability of the operation of the fingerprint module 400 is ensured.

In other embodiments, a ground terminal 8 may be disposed in the circuit board assembly 3. The decoration component 2 may be a conductive decoration member and be electrically connected to the ground terminal 8 through the circuit board assembly 3. Therefore, the purpose of grounding the decoration component 2 may be achieved by the ground terminal 8, and the static electricity of the decoration component 2 may be prevented from adversely affecting the fingerprint module 400. It should be noted that the static electricity may be generated when the decoration component 2 is touched by objects, or the decoration component 2 is in the friction process, and the generated static electricity has a bad influence on the fingerprint module 400.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, a conductive component 4 may be sandwiched between the circuit board assembly 3 and the bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22. Therefore, the electrical connection between the circuit board assembly 3 and the decoration component 2 may be indirectly made, the structural arrangement between the circuit board assembly 3 and the decoration component 2 can be made more reasonable.

Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22 may be provided with a mounting slot 24, the conductive component 4 may be embedded in the mounting slot 24. The mounting slot 24 can limit the conductive component 4 to prevent the conductive component 4 from moving on the bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22. Thereby, the reliability of the connection between the conductive component 4 and the bottom wall 20 b of the recessed portion 22 and between the conductive component 4 and the circuit board assembly 3 can be ensured.

Specifically, the conductive component 4 may be made of conductive foam. The conductive foam may be a conductive cloth wrapped on a flame-retardant sponge. After a series of processes, the conductive foam may have good surface conductivity and can be easily fixed on a device that may require shielding with an adhesive tape. The conductive foam is low in cost, simple in processing, and could ensure the reliability of grounding. When the circuit board assembly 3 is assembled with the decoration component 2, the conductive foam between the circuit board assembly 3 and the decoration component 2 may be compressed to ensure the reliability of connection between the conductive foam and the decoration component 2, thereby ensuring good grounding of the decoration component 2 and preventing the static electricity of the decoration component 2 from adversely affecting the fingerprint module 400.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the circuit board assembly 3 may include: a flexible circuit board 31 and a reinforcing plate 32. An end of the flexible circuit board 31 may extend into the recess portion 22, and attach to the free end surface of the protruding portion 11 (i.e., a surface of the protruding portion 11 facing the bottom wall 20 b shown in FIG. 4). On one hand, the protruding portion 11 may protect the flexible circuit board 31, and prevent the impurities in the air from corroding the circuit to cause electrical performance degradation, and on the other hand, the tight connection between the fingerprint identifying assembly 9 in the encapsulation layer 1 and the flexible circuit board 31 may be ensured, and the reliability of the operation of the fingerprint module 400 may be ensured. The grounding terminal 8 may be disposed on the flexible circuit board 31. The reinforcing plate 32 may be attached to the flexible circuit board 31 and electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 31, and the reinforcing plate 32 may be attached to a side of the flexible circuit board 31 away from the encapsulation layer 1 (the rear side as shown in FIG. 5), the conductive component 4 may be electrically connected to the reinforcing plate 32 (i.e., the reinforcing plate 32 is a conductive element). The reinforcing plate 32 may strengthen the structural strength of the flexible circuit board 31 and prevent the flexible circuit board 31 from being bent and damaged; therefore the reliability of the operation of the flexible circuit board 31 may be ensured. At the same time, the decoration component 2 may be connected to the flexible circuit board 31 through the reinforcing plate 32 and the conductive component 4. Therefore, the electrical connection between the decoration component 2 and the grounding terminal through the flexible circuit board 31 may be realized so as to avoid the adverse effect of the static electricity of the decoration component 2 on the fingerprint module 400.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, a circumference of the side wall 20 a of the decoration component 2 may be covered with a sealing member 7. When the fingerprint module 400 is mounted on an electronic apparatus 100 such as a mobile phone, the sealing member 7 may prevent the sweat or other liquid on the hand from intruding into the interior of the electronic apparatus 100 and damaging the components in the electronic apparatus 100, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the electronic apparatus 100.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the circumference of the side wall 20 a of the decoration component 2 may include a sealing groove 25, and the sealing member 7 may be embedded in the sealing groove 25. Therefore, the sealing member 7 may be prevented from being tilted in the axial direction of the decoration component 2 (front-rear direction as shown in FIG. 5) to ensure the reliability of the sealing.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the fingerprint module 400 may further include a cover plate 5, the cover plate 5 may be embedded in the embedded groove 21 and located at a front side of the encapsulation layer 1 (the front side as shown in FIG. 5). On the one hand, the cover plate 5 may further protect the fingerprint identifying assembly 9 and the circuit board assembly 3, and on the other hand, the cover plate 5 may also increase the aesthetics of the fingerprint module 400.

In some embodiments, the cover plate 5 may be a glass cover plate or a ceramic cover plate, the glass cover plate or the ceramic cover plate has high gloss, which can improve the aesthetics of the fingerprint module 400.

The fingerprint module 400 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure is described below with reference to FIGS. 2-5. The following description is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit the disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 2-5, a fingerprint module 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an encapsulation layer 1, a decoration component 2, a circuit board assembly 3, and a cover plate 5.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the encapsulation layer 1 may be configured to encapsulate the fingerprint identifying assembly 9, a first mating portion may be disposed on a rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1, the first mating portion may be a protruding portion 11 formed on the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1. The number of the protruding portion 11 may be one, and the one protruding portion 11 may be positioned in the middle part of encapsulation layer 1. When the protruding portion 11 is processed, a step may be processed in the circumferential direction of the encapsulating layer 1. The rear wall of the encapsulating layer 1 and the side wall surface of the protruding portion 11 may form a first stepped surface. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the decoration component 2 may have an embedded groove 21, and the encapsulation layer 1 may be disposed in the embedded groove 21. A second mating portion may be formed in the embedded groove 21. In some embodiment, the second mating portion may be a recess portion 22. The protruding portion 11 may be embedded in the recess portion 22. The bottom portion of the embedded groove 21 and the side wall of the recess portion 22 form a second step surface, and the first step surface may be engaged with the second step surface. When the decoration component 2 and the encapsulation layer 1 are assembled, the thickness of the decoration component 2 and the encapsulation layer 1 in the front-rear direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the fingerprint module 400, such that ultra-thin requirements of the electronic apparatus 100 could be realized.

It should be noted that when the thickness of the protruding portion 11 in the front-rear direction is a, the overall thickness of the decoration component 2 and the encapsulation layer 1 can be reduced by a. For example, when the thickness of the protruding portion 11 in the front-rear direction is 0.2 mm, the thickness of the decoration component 2 after being assembled with the encapsulating layer 1 can be reduced by 0.2 mm in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the circuit board assembly 3 may include a flexible circuit board 31 and a reinforcing plate 32. The bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22 of the decoration component 2 may be provided with a through hole 23. An end of the flexible circuit board 31 may pass through the through hole 23 into the recess portion 22, extend into the end of the flexible circuit board 31 in the recess portion 22 and be attached to the free end surface of the protruding portion 11 (i.e., the rear end surface of the protruding portion 11). On one hand, the encapsulation layer 1 can protect the flexible circuit board 31, prevent the impurities in the air from corroding the flexible circuit board 31 to cause electrical performance degradation, and on the other hand, the tight connection between the fingerprint identifying assembly 9 in the encapsulation layer 1 and the flexible circuit board 31 may be ensured, and the reliability of the operation of the fingerprint module 400 may be ensured. The reinforcing plate 32 may be a reinforcing steel plate, and the reinforcing plate 32 may be attached to the side of the flexible circuit board 31 away from the encapsulation layer 1 and electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 31, that is, the reinforcing plate 32 may be attached to the rear side wall of the flexible circuit board 31. The reinforcing plate 32 can strengthen the structural strength of the flexible circuit board 31 and prevent the flexible circuit board 31 from being bent and damaged.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2-4, the decoration component 2 may be a conductive metal piece, and the other end of the flexible circuit board 31 (the end that does not extend into the recess portion 22) is provided with a ground terminal 8. The conductive component 4 may be disposed between the reinforcing plate 32 and the bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22. The decoration component 2 may be electrically connected to the grounding terminal through the conductive component 4, the reinforcing plate 32 and the flexible circuit board 31. Therefore, the purpose of grounding the decoration component 2 may be achieved, and the static electricity of the decoration component 2 may be prevented from adversely affecting the fingerprint module 400. The conductive component 4 may be made of conductive foam, and the cross section of the conductive foam is rectangular. The bottom wall 20 b of the recess portion 22 may be provided with a mounting slot 24 having a rectangular cross section, and the conductive foam may be embedded in the mounting slot 24. Therefore, the conductive foam can be prevented from moving, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the decoration component 2 and the flexible circuit board 31.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cover plate 5 may be a glass cover plate which is disposed in the embedded groove 21 and located on the front side of the encapsulation layer 1, and the cover plate 5 may block the front side opening of the embedded groove 21. The cover plate 5 could not only protect the circuit board assembly 3, but also increase the aesthetics of the fingerprint module 400.

As shown in FIG. 5, the circumference of the side wall 20 a of the decoration component 2 may be sleeved with the sealing member 7 embedded in the sealing groove 25 on the circumference of the side wall 20 a of the decoration component 2. When the fingerprint module 400 is mounted on an electronic apparatus 100 such as a mobile phone, it could prevent the sweat or other liquid on the hand from intruding into the interior of the electronic apparatus 100 and damaging the components inside the electronic apparatus 100, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the electronic apparatus 100.

As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the fingerprint module 400 may further include a fingerprint pressing plate 6, and the fingerprint pressing plate 6 may be disposed on the rear side of the decoration component 2.

In the process of manufacturing the fingerprint module 400, the cover plate 5, the encapsulation layer 1, the flexible circuit board 31 and the reinforcing plate 32 may be processed together, and then the conductive foam may be pasted into the mounting slot 24 of the decoration component 2. The cover plate 5, the encapsulation layer 1, the flexible circuit board 31 and the reinforcing plate 32 which are processed together may be assembled together by the surrounding dispensing glue and assembled with the decoration component 2 then held in pressure. At the same time, through the gluing assembly, after the glue is pressed for a period of time, the glue may be solidified to ensure good grounding between the reinforcing plate 32 and the decoration component 2 through the certain amount of compression of the conductive foam between the reinforcing plate 32 and the decoration component 2.

The fingerprint module 400 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure forms a protruding portion 11 by processing a step on the rear wall of the encapsulation layer 1. Since the protruding portion 11 and the recess portion 22 of the decoration component 2 are fixed by glue, the thickness in the front-rear direction of the assembly of the encapsulating layer 1 and the decoration component 2 could be reduced. As a result, the thickness of the fingerprint module 400 could be reduced.
